Sheriff Bovee and ]. S. Talcott
took the burglar, Winter, out west
up the railroad track on Monday
and recovered the balance Of the
stolen property belonging to Mr..
Talcott which consisted in a case of
gold pen holders. After taking the
case of pens and holders from Tai
colts store Winter carried them off
up the track towards Nermilli0n
about three miles when he conclud
ed the case was a little too bulky
for his business SO he pulled the
pens out of the holders and threw
the case with the holders into the
grass near the track. This he told
Mr.. Talc0tt and hence the trip out
there Monday. They found them
all right-the case however being
somewhat damaged by rain and
eaten by grasshoppers and crickets.

Considerable excitemen. was ere.
ate | on our streets last night about
half past seven O'Clock, by the stab
bing of City Marshal James Berry,
by one Samuel Mitchell. Mitchell
has resided here for the past year or
two and is . miserable, vile tongued
whelp, and has continually been i'll
trouble since he first struck the
town. He La thrashed and abused
his wife SO that she refuses to live
with him. and several weeks ago he
was arrested and fined for breaking
into her house. The arrest was
made by City Marshal Berry in the
discharge of his duty, and Mitchell
has made a special target oihim and
Dist. Atty Wallace, who prosecuted
him, and has lost 40 opportunity to
call them all the vile names in his
vocabulary, and to hear him Cnce
you will be fully convinced that his
stock in this line is full and com
plete. He has an idea that every
body is against him and but very
few people in town have escaped
his vile abuse. Thus things have
run on until eft last it has
eliminated in the almost tragic
event of last night, At the time
mentioned last night Mitchell, Jas.
MGoningal and several others were
sitting on the steps in front Of Mr..
MGoningal's billiard hall when
Marshal Berry came up and spoke
to MGoningal IN a friendly manner,
paying no attention to Mitchell.

The Sudden Death of Young Wife Ac-

The Sudden Death of Young Wife Ac-
counted for in a Startling Manner
special dispatch from Racine, Wis, says:
From apolice official here information comes
of a particularly sensational case which will
probably soon be given to the public At present
names and details cannot be published, but
enough is given to show the startling nature of
the case. Six years ago young man of hand
some face, agreeable manners and apparently
of abundant means arrived in Racine and en-
gagged in prominent position with q leading
firm. He was soon a favorte and moved in the
best society 1t was not long before be paid
marked attention to one of the city's most es
Unable young ladies-the beautiful and accom-
plished daughter of a prominent and wealthy
ceremony was celebrated A house was furnished
and decided to the young couple and everything
appeared to move along happily.
But one day there came to the young man
letter, the contents of which troubled him
greatly. That night his wife died. and immedi
atelv after the funeral the widower left for the
East.
A few days ago woman called at police
headquarters who was closeted with the chief
and who told strange story. She said that she
was from Montreal and that her husband was
the man who had married in Racine and that
her own marriage to him was celebrated pre-
vious TO the ceremony performed in this city.
She said that when her husband returned to her
he made startling confession. He told of his
unlawful marriage here and said he had re-
ceived letter from the Montreal wife an
nouncing that she was coming to Racine. Fear
ing arrest for bigamy he had given his second
wife triple dose of medicine on the night fol-
lowing the receipt of the letter. She died a few
hours later. The terrible crime was kept a
family secret. The alleged bigamist has been

the proceeds to the erection of home for

The spirit that prompts the suggestion is
good one, but does not the constitution pro
vide that money derived from the sale of
State property shall be paid on its debt' Be-
sides, the men who should benefit by the
States bounty number hundreds, and could
not be collected in such home Would it not
be better to sell the old State house, put the
money in the treasury, where it belongs,
and make regular appropriations to aid the

THE BURDETT-BARTLET MAR
RAGE.
The Real Reasons Which Actuated the
Old Baroness.
London, Cor of the Ne~ York World.

London Cor of the Netc York World
heard yesterday the true story of the reasons
which led to the remarkable marriage of Bar
ones' Burdett Coutts to Ashmead Bartlett, of
Philad slphia. There never has been any salts
factory tplanation o. this marriage. The Bar
oness was over 90 at the time OF the wedding.
The bridegroom was less than 30. 1saw the two
at the opera the other night. The Baroness is
stout, heavy-faced. German looking woman
wi kindly expression. Her brown hair
shows as yet little signs of gray. She was
dressed in black and wore small. white, laced
cap on the top of Ler head Her hls band is
fresh-faced, yo1ng' looking man. He is blonde,
with regular features. His face is smooth
shaver. with the exception of a reddish brown
moustache. The husband aud wife were accom-
panied by a very handsome looking slim, proud
appearing brunette with blush black hair and
the most lovely fresh complex ion. She was in
white and CAV but little attention to the husband
of the Fa-ouess. He was very attentive to
his wife, paying her about the same devotion
that an affection t. sou would pay to his
mother
| have heard that the explanation of the mar
riage is to be found in the reading of the will of
the Duchess of St. Adams. This will provides
banker, which was left by him to his wife, the
Duchess aforementioned, should descend to
the Baroness Burdett-Coutts, subject to the fol
lowing conditions: If she married and her hus
band attached the name of Burdett- CouttS to
his then that would constitute him the heir in
direct line to his wife, and that in the event of
her death and his subsequent marriage, If he
still retained the name of Burdett- Coutts the
children Of his second marriage would become
the heirs, to the exclusion of any of the
other relatives. It is said that the Baroness
Burdett Coutts fell out with her relatives, and
that this marriage was simply the result of a
well considered plan to defeat by any posi-
blllty this great property ever going to any or
them 1t IS said that the marriage that she
has made with young Ashmead Bartlett is
marriage in mere name. She selected him on
account of the belief that she herself would
live for many years. she wanted young man
reasonably certain to outlive her and yet be
young enough to marry again. When she dies,
If he carries out the agreement already made
with her, he will marry soon afterward as
possible so as to provide for family of heirs
which will eat off every one of her present rela-
tives. The Queen who used to be very friendly
to the Baroness Burdett-C outts on account of
her greet charities, never approved of this mar
riage. and has not been on friendly terms with
her since
